Sustainability

At RTM, sustainability has always been a priority because keeping systems running efficiently makes all the difference for everyone involved. Whether it’s designing a mission critical data center, a fleet of city buildings, or an elementary school in a small town, RTM leverages in-depth experience in a variety of markets to deliver sustainable and energy-efficient designs.

Buildings need to accommodate the changing demands in an environment of growing energy costs. To satisfy this need, RTM created a Sustainability Studio that focuses specifically on providing clean, efficient solutions to owners. The studio is a consistent, dedicated group of some of the most talented team members who possess the expertise and knowledge to consult on and design for sustainability in projects.

Emphasis is placed on the economic sense of green building strategies through detailed payback analysis. Proven solutions to reducing the owner’s energy usage and costs are a regular part of the RTM philosophy. As partners of USGBC and Energy Star®, the firm is committed to being a leader when it comes to sustainable design.

“The work performed by RTM is helping Orlando lead the charge to become one of the most sustainable cities in the southeast…These citywide renovations will add significant value to Orlando’s aging infrastructure while providing occupants with increased comfort and safety…The experienced and knowledgeable team at RTM has helped the City work towards our sustainability goals and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other agencies looking to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste.”

“During early Pre-Design, RTM was integral in helping us decide which MEP systems would be the most cost effective, energy efficient and easy to maintain. This was a challenging task since our project has competing brand standards and targeting LEED Certification…We are looking forward to building our relationship with RTM during the construction process and future hotel development projects.”
